What is whiplash?
Whiplash is condition caused by injury to the soft-tissue structures of the cervical spine, or neck region. Usually whiplash is a strain of the muscles or sprain of the ligaments that move and support the spine and head.
Automobile accidents are the main cause of neck sprains/strains. These injuries occur when the muscles of neck experience hyper flexion and/or hyperextention. A common scenerio where whiplash occurs is when a seat-belted individual's head is thrown forward and then violently thrown back from the impact of a collision.
